You might also want to try blowing away the eqhardware.ini file in your EQ directory, and then running the optionseditor app.

It's also possible to have this happen if the settings in one of the ls*.ini files (I can't recall which one!) are different to those you have in the main game (is the file defaults.ini?). Force all resolutions to 640x480 in the optionseditor, and reset the resolution to something useful from within the game. Note that this bug is a long term issue in EQ, and seems to be a result of some of the dodgy "optimisations" SOE have done. It's only some cards, with some depths, some settings and some resolutions that surface this bug, which I suspect is due to pogrammers not clearing the GPU status registers properly from assembler.
